Abstract: Abstract The advent of Industry 4.0, characterized by the convergence of digitalization, automation, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), has significantly revolutionized industrial landscapes, improving efficiency and productivity. However, these technological advancements have introduced new cybersecurity challenges, requiring advanced approaches to secure critical industrial infrastructure. This article explains the vital role of intrusion detection systems (IDS) and machine learning algorithms in enhancing Industry 4.0 security under IIoT. Intrusion detection systems, as frontline defense mechanisms, play a vital role in the identification and mitigation of potential cyber threats within IIoT-enabled ecosystems. Combined with machine learning algorithms, IDS can analyze and adapt to various patterns of malicious activity, enabling real-time threat detection and response. This merger enables industries to proactively secure their operations, minimize vulnerabilities, and ensure the uninterrupted functionality of critical systems. In this study, we delve into the transformative realm of Industry 4.0, emphasizing the integral role of intrusion detection systems (IDS) and machine learning (ML) algorithms within Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) environments. IDS, serving as primary defense mechanisms, synergize with ML algorithms to proactively identify and mitigate cyber threats in real-time, ensuring uninterrupted industrial operations. Our comprehensive evaluation of the CIDDS-001 dataset reveals that Decision Tree and Random Forest models excel across crucial performance metrics, showcasing their potential to bolster cybersecurity in Industry 4.0. Conversely, Logistic Regression indicates room for enhancement. These insights are fundamental for practitioners and researchers in fortifying industrial cybersecurity strategies.
